IA64 traditionally had a 4GB DMA32 zone. Set the compatibility flag
to keep old drivers working.
For new drivers it would be better to use ZONE_DMA32 now.

Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones.
As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port
was originally designed we had some discussion if we should
use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or
both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early
2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even
dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly
because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.
But this has always caused problems since then because
device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days
the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven
it can deal with many zones successfully.
So this patch adds both zones.
This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because
their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary
and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).
Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which
was not enough memory.
Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory
addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory
(like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory
in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,
but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory
(even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have
many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put
this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.
One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main
motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware
raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter
company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But
that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really
need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because
it seems to be the most common restriction.
The new zone is so far added only for x86-64.
For other architectures who don't set up this
new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility
define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32
as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures
it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able
enough.
One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different
architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA
(trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like
the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite
ugly and is now obsolete.
These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done
this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent
which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.

We can't currently use asm-ppc/page.h in vmlinux.lds.S, so until
we have a merged page.h, define PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE locally.
Also gets rid of some dynamic executable cruft that we had for
32-bit. With -Ttext=$(KERNELBASE) this didn't cause any problem,
but when we changed to putting . = KERNELBASE in the vmlinux.lds.S
this cruft caused the text to get linked at 0xa0 instead of
0xc0000000. Oops.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
We have an optimized sha1 routine (arch/arm/lib/sha1.S) meant to
override the generic one in lib/sha1.c.
Unfortunately lib/lib.a is listed _before_ arch/arm/lib/lib.a in the
link argument list and therefore the architecture specific lib functions
are not picked up before the generic versions.
This patch is a quick fix to change that ordering for ARM. Here's what
the kbuild maintainer had to say about it (was also CC'd on lkml):
On Wed, 2 Nov 2005, Sam Ravnborg wrote:

Patch from Dave Jiang
This provides support for IXP2xxx error interrupt handling. Previously there was a patch to remove this (although the original stuff was broken). Well, now the error bits are needed again. These are used extensively by the micro-engine drivers according to Deepak and also we will need it for the new EDAC code that Alan Cox is trying to push into the main kernel.
Re-submit of 3072/1, generated against git tree pulled today. AFAICT, this git tree pulled in all the ARM changes that's in arm.diff. Please let me know if there are additional changes. Thx!

register_vpa() doesn't actually do a VPA register call it just uses the flags
you pass it, so rename it to vpa_call() to be clearer.
We can then define register_vpa() and unregister_vpa() which are both simple
wrappers around vpa_call(). (we'll need unregister_vpa() for kexec soon)
We can then cleanup vpa_init(), and because vpa_init() is only called from
platforms/pseries we remove the definition in asm-ppc64/smp.h.

Currently we set the kernel entry point and the address of the text
section in the Makefile, using CONFIG_KERNEL_START.
But we've already got <asm/page.h> in the linker script, so we can just
use KERNELBASE directly. That means if we ever change KERNELBASE there's
one less place to change it.
And we can set the entry point with ENTRY().
There are zero differences from "readelf -a vmlinux" with or without this
patch.

Merge include/asm-ppc/kexec.h and include/asm-ppc64/kexec.h.
The only thing that's really changed is that we now allocate crash_notes
properly on PPC32. It's address is exported via sysfs, so it's not correct
for it to be a pointer.
I've also removed some of the "we don't use this" comments, because they're
wrong (or perhaps were referring only to arch code).
